Cześć! I am a third year PhD Student at University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). I'm a part of the probability research group working with professors Georg Menz and Marek Biskup. I am also the lead developer of Agrade, a system for grading automation being tested at UCLA math department. But my main love are various particle systems. See below what fun they are!
Model
Research
Probability theory: interacting particle systems, stochastic dynamics and statistical mechanics, and, more recently, AI-assisted verification and assessment of mathematical work.
Interacting particle systems
Ergodicity and decay of correlations for one-dimensional interacting particle systems: a time-scaling argument extending classical ergodicity criteria, a recursive criterion for covariance decay, and an ergodicity criterion for one-sided systems with a long-lived state. Motivated by the positive rates conjecture; models of interest include the East model with noise and multi-stage contact processes. Joint with Georg Menz.
Disordered Ising models
Random-current and transfer-matrix methods for the one-dimensional heterogeneous Ising model with signed (ferro- and antiferromagnetic) interactions, giving correlation bounds for disordered systems. Joint with Edward Athaide, Jonas Köppl and Georg Menz.
Branching Brownian particles with resource recycling
Current project: a spatial population of Brownian particles that reproduce at a rate set by an immobile resource which they consume, with each death returning resource at the death location. The recycling balance \(\theta=\beta m/c\) decides survival from finite states and growth or decay of the large-population limit. Advised by Georg Menz in collaboration with Marek Biskup.
Interacting AI agents for mathematical reliability
AGrade: an agentic, multi-agent AI grading system I develop with Georg Menz, in production in the UCLA Mathematics Department (Summer 2026 GSR appointment funded through IPAM). Building on it, Proof Crystallization (with Georg Menz and Guido Montúfar): an agentic preprocessing layer between informal LLM-generated mathematics and formal verification in Lean, organizing agents into construction, verification, adversarial critique, repair and judgment roles.
